I finally got around to this.  This has been building up in my mind, and it's time to vent a little.  We used to debate back and forth about which network had better coverage, Fox or NBC.  Now that ESPN has taken this over, either of the other two options would suit me just fine. 

The announcers that ESPN have managed to line up are just terrible.  Some of them are boring, some of them are uneducated about the sport, and some are both.  Combined they just stink up the airwaves.  The network itself goes to commercial way too often, and won't come back from commercials for important stuff like the other (better) networks.

Their technical segments are just lame.  "Draft Track"?  Give me a break.  Also, the next time a motor lets go and they pan to that same animation of the valve breaking off, I'm seriously going to throw my remote through the TV.  Usually, they've managed to go to this graphic before the car is even back in the pits.  It's okay to speculate what's happened and say something like "Maybe he dropped a valve" or "The bottom end could have let go" before you really know.  The animations are totally unnecessary until you've received some sort of confirmation about what actually happened. 

Here's my public outcry to ESPN:  Please go watch some of the recent coverage from the other (better) networks.  Everything they did wasn't always the best, but it was absolutely better than what you are doing now.

Boogity, Boogity, Boogity.
